Jesus College detailed in an email sent to all students last night (30/10), that the College for the next two weeks will be “making changes to some key services to keep everyone in our community safe.”
The email in particular highlights the need to “further minimise the risk to staff and Fellows, by segmenting each group and reducing interaction between them.” These new changes include seating in the cafeteria being segmented with “fellows and staff members continuing to eat in Upper Hall” while staff will further be “able to reserve a table in Hall.” Formal Halls will continue although students must dine in their households only and screens will be “available to shield small postgraduate households.” Cleaning of students’ households will be suspended.Instead, cleaning packs will be delivered to students from housekeeping, with a free household breakfast in the Roost Cafe available to the household with the cleanest facilities at the end of the two weeks. Other measures affecting students’ include: no visiting sports teams, party permits being suspended, the gym being limited to four people at any one time and parcel collection from the porters lodge via arrangement. However, all other facilities, including the Roost Cafe and Bar will continue to remain open.
The new measures were introduced at Jesus as a result of the 44 confirmed positive Covid-19 cases since the start of term across 24 households. Several staircases have had more than four positive cases at any one time.
